IT'S ABOUT TIME ...
How do we honour great Australians that have shown the world just what we can achieve?
Most are quiet almost shy, when it comes to telling their story - perhaps it is time to remedy that situation.
Our aim is to draw attention to the pioneering contribution that Lawrence Hargrave made to the development of human flight, as well as championing his interest in the natural heritage and cultural development of Stanwell Park.
